If You Were In Charge with Sanam Naraghi Anderlini
Each episode, she tackles a major global challenge but flips the script. Instead of hearing from politicians and pundits, Sanam talks to the frontline doers and imaginers—activists, organizers, and peacebuilders—whose lived experience, courage, and ideas are reshaping what’s possible. People who, if they were in charge, could change the world.
Exploring what they’re already achieving, what they could do with greater power and money, and, most importantly, what gives them hope.
Join Sanam and her daughter, Soleh, each week as they reimagine a better future with thought-provoking discussions and insights from leading global experts.

USAID left. Dr. Jessie Stone stayed: A story of care and crisis in Uganda
Dr. Jessie Stone, a six-time U.S. freestyle team member, shares her journey of how an illness to one of her team during a kayaking trip led her to establish a health clinic in Uganda. Now she is on the front line as USAID cuts mean millions can no longer access life-saving care.
Welcome to If You Were In Charge with Sanam Naraghi Anderlini.
In the last ten years, Dr. Jessie Stone's clinic has served hundreds of thousands of patients and helped address critical health issues like malaria and community health. Speaking to Sanam, she stresses the importance of community education and describes the challenges faced in providing healthcare in a country with one doctor for every 25,000 patients. She highlights the extraordinary resilience of local communities and the need for grassroots solutions in healthcare.
And as always, listen to the end for news on upcoming episodes and words of wisdom from Soleh!
